County day on Sunday

To confirm that this Sunday is a County Day for all age groups (including U12s) at Welwyn. Registration is from 1.30 for a 2.00 start - but please don't arrive before 1.00!

For the U15s and U18s this is officially a "trial". However, unlike previous seasons (certainly previous U18s seasons) this will not result in the creation of a "county squad" that will then represent the county at all fixtures and festivals. This season the aim is to be much more inclusive. A 1st XV will be picked for the first festival, in Sussex on 28th September, but this will not necessarily be the same XV that will be picked for subsequent festivals - indeed coaches will be trying to give as many players as possible the chance to play for the county.

In addition - if there are enough players attending the trial - there will also be 2nd XVs, so everyone who puts themselves forward (and shows the commitment to attend later training sessions) should get some tournament experience in the green of Hertfordshire.

There will also be a U12 session on Sunday, and a similar programme of training and fixtures for the youngest age group is also planned.

The only requirement is you MUST bring a registration form signed by a parent!!! If you have not had a form yet please ask for one on Thursday.
